Immortal Technique

Wu-Tang is a no brainer. Eminem would be cool. He hasn't been a part of RTB before, but GU has made friends with Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf. He could be that new marquee name, but not command as high a price tag as a Jay-Z.

RTB unannounced dates.

I sure hope RTB continues with the "tour" as small as it may be. In terms of Guerilla Union and the fests they do (Smokeout, Paid Dues, RTB) RTB is the "biggest/most important," but their others have seen success as one day destination festivals. I'd hate to see GU focus all their energy on a big one date festival for their big anniversary show.

Ill also throw out my NWA "theory" with Cube, Dre, Ren, Yella and Snoop in the Eazy E spot as an appropriate headliner.

Would you mind elaborating on this a bit more. I'd heard/read similar things, but could never find anything more concrete evidence in my research. Is he involved in the business side similar to the way WU/GZA is? I don't even know what he does for them, but he's either performed, hosted, curated that 36 Chambers stage. Whats Nas doing on the business side for GU?

Re: Rock the Bells X 2013

this is pretty bad...there are some great names on there, but for the 10th Rock the Bells, this is very disappointing...the hologram bullshit is the worse...that shit got old as soon as weekend 1 was over in 2012...i'll pass on this...I was really expecting something special...

Re: Rock the Bells X 2013

I've gone to RTB each year in the bay, but there's just nothing new and "inspiring" on here. The holograms don't do anything for me.

RTB used to make me go "OH DAMN! They got WU, Pharcyde, Deltron 3030, Lauryn, _________." Fill in the blank on any rare or special artist. Outside of J5 (who's already been announced for Outside Lands, not sure if they'll be at the bay show) I've seen, and paid a lot of money, to see almost all of those acts, AT Rock The Bells.

Seriously thinking of doing OSL instead of RTB this year, which is almost shocking for me to think.

Saw this post on their Facebook. Luckily we have an abundance of extra RTB and Paid Dues tickets at my work otherwise there's no way I would pay for this rehash of hip-hop. However if you didn't go to Coachella or OSL or Paid Dues then I guess it's pretty good.
